Microslides consist of a strip of film with eight photomicrographs, each reproduced exactly as you would see them through a professional microscope under ideal conditions. You can supply all your students with their own microslides.

Each microslide is accompanied by a detailed lesson plan designed to stimulate, inform, and question students about the topic under study. Each lesson plan has a pocket in which the microslide is stored. Lesson plans are printed on heavy card stock and will serve for repeated use.
